Knowledge is like a garden if it is not cultivated it cannot be harvested.

What is the Knowledge Hub?

Our knowledge hub is a commitment to UNESCO’s mandate to foster the free flow of ideas and knowledge sharing. UNESCO serves as a laboratory of ideas. The knowledge hub represents our laboratory.

It is home to a variety of resources and publications relating to the work we undertake at the National Commission, and the wider work that UNESCO undertakes globally. Search below for your area of interest and discover videos, publications, discussion papers, reports and more, to help you grow your knowledge.

The knowledge hub will be added to regularly, so if you cannot find what you are looking for today, make sure to take the time to revisit the hub in the future.
